LYRICS:
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty

Don’t get stuck in the past
Say your favourite things at mass
Tell your mother that you love her
And go out of your way for others
Sit beneath a light that suits ya
And look forward to a brighter future

Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty

Sink as far down as you can be pulled up
Happiness really ain’t all about luck
Let your demeanour be your deep down self
And don’t sacrifice your life for your health
When you speak, speak sincere
And believe me friend, everyone will hear

Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empt
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty

Bring your own two cents
Never borrow them from someone else
Buy yourself a flower every hundredth hour
Throw your hair down from your lonely tower
And if, and if
You find yourself in the family way
Give the kid more than what you got in your day

Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty

Never let a clock tell you what you got time for
It only goes around, goes around, goes around
Take your family name for your own great sins
Cuz each day is where it all begins

And
Don’t give up too quick
You only get one line - you better make it stick
If we give ourselves to every breath
Then we’re all in the running for a hero’s death

Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty
Life ain’t always empty

That was the year of the sneer now the real thing's here

[penguin]

I LOVE that line “When you speak, speak sincere, and believe me friend, everyone will hear”.

[briarrose]

This song is every mantra I say to myself when I’m feeling depressed. Focus on gratitude, servitude, sincerity, and look don’t take it all too seriously.

[davidcampbell]

How I imagine the Late Late Show would be if David Lynch produced it.

[theblur]

The whole song feels like a countdown, like something is going to explode.
It is so immersive!

[tamarquaye]

This song would've been perfect for Trainspotting.

Life ain’t always empty

Don’t get stuck in the past
Say your favourite things at mass
Tell your mother that you love her
And go out of your way for others
Sit beneath a light that suits ya
And look forward to a brighter future

(Ooh) Life ain’t always empty

Sink as far down as you can be pulled up
Happiness really ain’t all about luck
Let your demeanour be your deep down self
And don’t sacrifice your life for your health
When you speak, speak sincere
And believe me friend, everyone will hear

(Ooh) Life ain’t always empty

Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap

Bring your own two cents
Never borrow them from someone else
Buy yourself a flower every hundredth hour
Throw your hair down from your lonely tower
And if, and if you find yourself in the family way
Give the kid more than what you got in your day

(Ooh) Life ain’t always empty

Ah, never let a clock tell you what you got time for
It only goes around, goes around, goes around
Take your family name for your own great sins
'Cause each day is where it all begins
And don’t give up too quick
You only get one line, you better make it stick
If we give ourselves to every breath
Then we’re all in the running for a hero’s death

(Ooh) Life ain’t always empty

Ooh-ooh
Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap

[guevarabrendie]

"When you speak, speak sincere
And believe me friend, everyone will hear" Top choon from a top top band 🎸🎸

[lucasdavey]

Can’t wait to see where the next album goes, great to have that feeling of a band to believe in again.

[oliverblunt]

Honestly love this track, the way he can sing the words “Life ain’t always empty” over and over again in a different tone and make it sound better each time in my opinion, is increadible. Fontaine’s DC rock

[janimxy]

Life ain’t always empty and Chaos isn't a pit, chaos is a ladder.

[vibes]

on the surface the lyrics are really optimistic but the anxiety inducing guitar riff gives off a really overwhelming sense of dread and makes the lyrics seem more ironic, almost as if the vocalist is trying to kid himself on that everything's fine, backed by the beach boys-esque vocal harmonies and doo wop adlibs that youd typically find in a much more up beat song

[zeltonkay]

Beginning sounds like a darker version of Last Nite by the Strokes

[jakeluxton]

The best lyrics I've heard in a long time.

[Evinde]

I was listening to MTV just as background noise and about went into cardiac arrest when I looked up and saw Aidan Gillen. Love him, brilliant actor.

[mariagallizzo]

Life ain't always empty, like when

you FIND OUT THERE'S A NEW SINGLE FROM FONTAINES OMG LOVE YOU GUYS

[philipmulville]

These guys are on fire. The best thing to hit the music scene in years.

[RisesTheDarkKnight]

I discovered IDLES recently and now this, damn, and I found out that they toured together, should have been crazy

[joofrrb]

the lyrics in this are like quotes that stick in your head and you randomly remember them. My fav is "happiness aint all about luck"

[zippodoc]

I don't know if you know it, but these are the most important lyrics of the year.

[Swarlman]

I couldn't wait to hear a studio version of this one... you certainly didn't disappoint me. Great stuff!
